1. What do you do for a living?

I’m a writer and a creative manager. I handle creative teams writing teleseryes under the Star Creatives unit of ABSCBN.

Can you name some of the Teleseryes: Maging Sino Ka Man, Magkaribal, imortal, princess and I, forevermore, the Legal Wife, A Love to Last, Got to Believe, among others I heard that you sometimes travel to write.

Alala ko one of your concern the last road trip is kung may kuryente para sa laptop mo. Yup, I do. Writing is really about seeing the world differently. It’s easier to do that in a place that’s unfamiliar to me.

8. If you could trade places with anyone right now, for a week, who would it be and why?

One of the people manning the International Space Station. Because I need space! Haha but kidding aside, that’s an awesome experience I guess, and see the world in a different perspective.9. What is the best present you ever received?

A Big Breakfast from Mcdo from my siblings. Coz that’s enough.

10. If you could meet a famous or not so famous person, who would that be and why?

If to meet lang, maybe Stephen Hawking. I’ll be needing a selfie.

11. How old should a person start traveling?

Start early. It takes time to start really “seeing” the world.

12. What is your best experience in traveling/living in the Philippines?

Seeing one particular Boracay sunset brought tears to my eyes. Everything about that day made sense.
